Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What kind of ce was the Cold Ice Hall? It was bitterly cold all year round, and half an hour was enough to make a person tremble, let alone stay there for seven days. He would definitely be frozen into a popsicle!
Dong Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only leave obediently and ept his punishment.
The Qian Yao Pavilion began to sell Vitality Fortifying Elixirs again today. The source of customers naturally ran from the Su family to the Qian Yao Pavilion. The Su family hadpletely be aughing stock in the imperial capital.
Which aristocratic family was as unlucky as the Su family? Su Qian, who was chased out of the family, had emptied the treasury. Now, their business was not doing well, and their ancestral’s mansion had been robbed. The family could only live in a courtyard house that belonged to Su Cghua’s private property. Everyone talked about the Su family as if they were a joke. There were even other aristocratic families that used to be on par with the Su family and waited for the Su family to fall further into misery.
There was not even a guard in front of the Su family’s main gate. It was deste.
Now, even the thief knew that the Su family was so poor that they had nothing worth stealing. No one came here at all. Naturally, there was no need for any guards. Only a servant was idling in the gatehouse.
In the afternoon, the servant was dozing off in the gatehouse when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
The servant looked up and was surprised to see a silver-white carriage parked steadily in front of the Su family’s gate.
The carriage was decorated with a g of purple clouds and dragon patterns, which was the symbol of the royal family.
“Princess, slow down.” The maid lifted the curtain of the carriage. Princess Xuehua, dressed in a long with beaded essories on her head, stepped out of the carriage. She stepped on the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and got off the carriage.
“Greetings, Princess,” the servant greeted her with a smile.
“Is Yunxian here? I heard that she had returned, I specially brought some of the fresh goodies that I had umted in the past to share with her.” Princess Xuehua looked at the poorly dressed servant with disdain but maintained her elegant and dignified smile.
“Of course. The Eldest Miss is in the backyard. This way, please.” The servant was extremely respectful as he led Princess Xuehua all the way to the courtyard where Su Yunxian lived.
Along the way, the other servants of the Su family went to inform Su Yunxian of this matter. Princess Xuehua had just walked to the door when Su Yunxian came out to wee her.
Su Yunxian and Princess Xuehua had been good friends for a long time. Su Yunxian could not help but smile. She excitedly held Princess Xuehua’s hand and said with a smile, “Princess, it’s been a long time since west met. Why did you suddenlye over? You should have told me earlier, so I could havee to pick you up.”
“I heard that the Su family has been busytely. I was afraid that you wouldn’t have time. I found out that you were staying at home today, so I specially came to look for you,” Princess Xuehua spoke, she patted Su Yunxian’s hand affectionately.
Su Yunxian led Princess Xuehua into the courtyard and the two of them sat facing each other at a round table.
“Sigh, I believe that you had also heard about what happened to our Su family recently, right? Actually, I wanted to go and see you as soon as I came back, but I really didn’t have the strength to do so. Please don’t me me,” Su Yunxian said with a bitter smile.
“Why should we say such estranged words between us sisters?” Princess Xuehua spoke as she looked around and raised her hand to cover her mouth with a handkerchief. “However, the ce you live in is really poor. Look at how small this courtyard is. It’s not even as good as the ce where the pce maids live…”
Princess Xuehua’s words sessfully made Su Yunxian’s mouth twitch.
However, Su Yunxian’s actions were very inconspicuous and did not attract Princess Xuehua’s attention. She quickly lowered her eyes to hide the coldness that shed past. “Princess, let’s not talk about our Su family. I heard about the good news in the pce and wanted to congratte you in advance..”
